Chapter 101 Chapter 101 Update
Fu Mingze put the plate away, turned around and took Shen Moer's hand, and asked with a smile: "Isn't it that the city wants you to move the factory there again? If it really doesn't work, I want to try the state-owned factories in the city and strive to be a wife and husband?"
Two years ago, the Second Branch of the Southern Province Embroidery Factory was officially renamed the Second Southern Province Embroidery Factory. Although it was just missing the word "branch", the order of the characters changed a little, but the nature of the factory has changed fundamentally, and the level has suddenly become the same as the Southern Province Embroidery Factory.
As the factory became larger and larger, and more and more workers were recruited, the current Liuqiao Commune is no longer the remote and poor appearance of the past, and has become the largest commune in Jiangbei County. Geng Liming, the former commune secretary, has moved up to become the deputy county chief, and Zhang Zhengxiang, the former commune director, has been promoted to secretary. Gu Yangbo, the former Jiangbei County chief, is now the mayor of Lingjiang City.
Mayor Gu has been calling Shen Moli from time to time since last year to persuade her to move the embroidery factory to the city.
Liuqiao Commune has developed rapidly because of the embroidery factory, but it is only a commune after all. Mayor Gu believes that the embroidery factory will develop better if it is moved to the city.
Hearing that Mayor Gu also went to the Canton Fair this time, Fu Mingze suspected that Gu Yangbo finally persuaded his wife to move the factory to the city.
Shen Moer rubbed Fu Mingze's palm with her fingers and said with a smile: "The factory will not move. I have already returned to Mayor Juegu this time. Originally, this factory was built for the development of Liuqiao Commune. Wouldn't it be against the original intention to move it to the city? Moreover, I believe that we will develop better and better here in the future."
Instead of moving the factory, it would be better for the city to provide more policies and funds to develop Liuqiao Commune better.
This is how she answered Gu Yangbo.
This time when she went to participate in the Canton Fair, Shen Moer clearly felt that the atmosphere was very different from before. On the opening day of the trade fair, more than 2,000 members of the trade delegation and trade fair staff held a simple parade to celebrate the demise of the small group that had brought years of disaster to the Flower Kingdom. At the end of the parade, everyone had a very relaxed smile on their face.
It was as if some invisible shackles were finally being broken.
This was similar to the news that Shen Moer had heard indirectly from Liu Yinshuang, that the country was about to usher in a new development.
In fact, strictly speaking, it was not an indirect attack. After all, Liu Yinshuang was not a very scheming person. Sometimes, even if no one asked, she would accidentally let the cat out of the bag. However, she had a rather irritable personality and a reputation for being fierce, so she was not very close to the people in the factory. She only interacted with Shen Moer, so she did not attract anyone's attention.
But Shen Moer did know a lot.
For example, the policy would be gradually relaxed, allowing individuals to do business and set up enterprises. For example, probably next year, the country would resume the college entrance examination, and everyone would have the opportunity to change their own destiny through the college entrance examination. For another example, in ten years or so, a large number of state-owned factories would go bankrupt, and workers with "iron rice bowls" would be laid off... Anyway, Shen Moer knew almost everything she needed to know, even by guessing.
In this case, Shen Moer felt that there was no need to move the embroidery factory to the city.
Liuqiao Commune will surely develop better and better under the more relaxed policy environment in the future.
Fu Mingze thought about it and stopped guessing. Instead, he pinched her fingers and asked, "What's the matter?"
Shen Moer grabbed his hand and put it on her lower abdomen. She looked up at Fu Mingze and raised her eyebrows.
Fu Mingze's eyebrows jumped, and he was silent for a moment. His voice unconsciously lowered. He asked in disbelief: "What's wrong with you?"
Shen Moer smiled and said: "Yes, we are going to have a baby. It's been more than a month."
Fu Mingze was silent for a while, then suddenly pulled Shen Moer to the dining table, pressed her to sit on the stool, squatted down, and looked at her: "Are you feeling unwell?"
Shen Moer smiled and shook her head: "One day during the trade fair, it might be that the venue was too stuffy. I was dizzy for a few minutes and then found out. After that, they didn't let me work. I ate well and slept well every day, and I gained a few pounds. Except for that time, I didn't feel any discomfort afterwards. On the train back, I was also She enjoys everything she eats and falls asleep as
soon as she lies down. They envy me to death." Fu Mingze stroked her still flat belly with his palm, feeling a little scared: "She has been traveling for several days. She must have fainted because she was not feeling well."
He said seriously: "Comrade Shen Moer, our daughter is still young. You can't be so careless in the future. Leave the factory affairs to Jin Caifei and the others during this period. You should stay at home and take care of the baby. Also, don't cook. I will tell my father later and have him bring you lunch from the kiln factory cafeteria or your embroidery factory cafeteria, and I will cook dinner when I get home. Don't worry, after the autumn harvest, I will have less work to do, and I will try to stay at home with you more."
"Also, don't ride your bike. It's bumpy on the road. It would be bad if you fall or get hurt. By the way, let's go back and tell Dad to exchange some meat coupons at the kiln. I'll ask Mrs. Liu to exchange some for us as well. We have to ensure that you can eat meat at least once every three days. As for eggs, that's easy. I can exchange some with the aunties in the village privately. You can eat at least one egg every day. Also, we have to find a way to save some cloth coupons..."
Shen Moer, who usually doesn't talk much, started talking nonstop when she was nervous. Not knowing whether to laugh or cry, she touched Fu Zhiqing's face and said softly, "Okay, okay, I got it, Fu Zhiqing, don't be too nervous."
Fu Mingze held her wrist, rubbed it, and kissed it. Then he let out a long breath and said seriously, "Comrade Shen Moer, thank you for your hard work!"
Shen Moer thought that her Fu Zhiqing's rare flustered look was really cute, and she couldn't help kissing the corner of his mouth, "You're welcome, Comrade Fu Mingze."
A burst of laughter came from outside the courtyard gate, and soon Chen Yu and Zhou Zhaodi came in.
Seeing Fu Mingze half-kneeling in front of Shen Moer, Chen Yu frowned and said in surprise: "Fu Zhiqing, did you make my sister Moer angry? Do you want me to get you a washboard?"
Fu Mingze stood up, twirled his clothes, and said, "I'll go back and ask your father if he needs a washboard."
Chen Yu immediately said, "No, no, we don't need it, maybe my father needs it more." Yes. "
Zhou Zhaoyi laughed and covered his stomach:" I turned back and told Uncle Chen, you said he needed to wash the board. "
Chen Zhuangzhuang and Li Xinmei have been in work in the past few years, especially Li Xinmei. After several years of refining, now there is a taste of an iron lady, and the two have no thoughts to regenerate their children. The only one was afraid of his
father
.
Zhou Zhaodi severed ties with her family and usually worked odd jobs in ceramic factories and embroidery factories to make a living. Shen Moer usually improved her food by either calling her to the commune or buying things for her to go back to Yangliu Brigade. However, she went back to Yangliu Brigade more often, after all, Fu Mingze was also busy on weekends, and Zhou Zhaodi worked with the people in the "extra-curricular workshop" to do embroidery work on weekends.
If Zhou Zhaodi had something to eat, Chen Yu would naturally not be left out, so the two children were familiar with eating at Shen Moer's place, and they were not polite, they took their own bowls and chopsticks and started eating with big mouthfuls.
"Sister Moer's cooking is really delicious, even better than my grandma's." Chen Yu said while eating rice, "How about we come back next weekend, Sister Moer, can I come to your house for dinner next weekend?"
Fu Mingze glanced at him, put a piece of food into Shen Moer's bowl with chopsticks, and said, "No, your sister Moer will not cook anymore in the future."
Chen Yu immediately frowned: "Ah, why?"
Zhou Zhaodi also ate rice and looked at She glanced at Shen Moer and interrupted, "Master, I'll do it from now on. I know how to cook."
Fu Mingze glanced at her approvingly, smiled, and said, "No, I know how to cook. Your master is pregnant with a baby, so she needs to pay more attention to nutritional matching." Zhou Zhaodi
was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously looked at Shen Moer. Chen Yu's chopsticks fell to the ground with a clatter. The two children looked at each other blankly, and then screamed in surprise almost at the same time:
"Ahhh, Sister Moer, you are pregnant, ahhh, I am going to have a niece!"
"Ahhh, Master, Master, you have a baby, ahhh, I am going to have a little sister!"
Chen Yu was a kid who didn't know what was going on. From childhood to adulthood, no matter how the family members talked about the relationship with Shen Moer, he always firmly called Shen Moer sister, and didn't discuss the generation with others at all.
Shen Moer heard them calling her niece and sister, and she didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She touched her belly subconsciously and said, "I am pregnant, but I don't know whether it is a boy or a girl. Why do you all think it is a girl?"
Chen Yu and Zhou Zhaodi looked at Fu Mingze at the same time and said in unison: "Fu Zhiqing said so!"
Although Shen Moer had never had a bad child, everyone in the Yangliu Brigade knew that Fu Zhiqing liked girls.
Because once Zhang Junliang showed off his son in front of him, he directly replied: "I like girls, and, sons like yours, no one will pick them up even if they are thrown into the garbage dump."
Zhang Junliang was so angry that he almost wanted to fight with him.
If there were no other members on the scene to stop them, they would have fought.
Shen Moer glanced at Fu Mingze lightly: "What if it's a son?"
Fu Mingze touched his nose and said helplessly: "If he is really a son, there is no way he is not a son."
What's the matter, you are still feeling wronged if he is really a son, right?
Shen Moer couldn't help but pinched his waist hard. Fu Mingze took a breath and grabbed Shen Moer's hand and squeezed it: "If he is really a son, I will teach him a good lesson."
Shen Moer: "That's better."
Zhou Zhaodi and Chen Yu looked at each other and both covered their mouths and laughed.
Since the news of Shen Moer's pregnancy came out, the gossip in the village immediately stopped. Aunt Chen knew that there were some gossips in the village. Sometimes when she chatted with her old sisters, she couldn't help but say something.
"Moer and Xiao Fu, the educated youth, were busy with their careers. They didn't want to have children in the past few years. Otherwise, how could they develop the factory so well and take good care of the land? Now that life is getting better and better, and both sides are on the right track, they are ready to have children."
Aunt Chen looked like "you people are really ignorant": "People in the city are like this. They have children when they want to, unlike us. Country people, if they have nothing to do at home, they have to have two children in three years."
Aunt Cai spoke up bravely: "Well, don't the men in the city sleep with their wives at night? They are too desperate to not have children, right?"
A group of old ladies laughed, and Aunt Chen also laughed: "Well, I can see that you didn't listen carefully when the commune propagandists came to preach. They call this family planning, and there are contraceptive measures. Look, my Xinmei hasn't been pregnant in the past few years. , they all got that stuff from the hospital."
Some people were curious about Shen Lingling: "Her first child is not little anymore, why haven't we seen her pregnant with the second child?"
Aunt Cai pouted: "Just look at how often Zhang Junliang comes back to the village."
She lowered her voice: "My little girl has joined the purchasing department of the embroidery factory. She has a lot of contact with the textile factory. Everyone in the factory knows that Zhang Junliang is now in poverty. He was already living with his cousin. If it weren't for the national policy that they couldn't get married, he would have divorced Shen Lingling and married his cousin."
Another aunt took a breath of cold air: "No, how dare they do that?"
Aunt Cai: "Why not? Now the people in the Revolutionary Committee don't care about it anymore. They are afraid that they will be punished. They are so bold to have an affair without anyone to take care of it."
"How dare Tian Fang laugh at Mo'er behind her back? What's going on in their family? I've never seen anything like this in the whole village." Aunt Chen said speechlessly, "I used to think Shen Lingling was smart, but now I see that she is also confused."
An aunt who lived close to the old Shen family said, "Then you are wronging her. She is very clear-headed. It is said that most of Zhang Junliang's salary is in her hands. After all, Zhang Junliang and his cousin can't get married. She will probably continue to live like this just for Zhang Junliang's salary. Besides, divorce is always unpleasant."
"What do you think of Zhang Junliang? If he likes his cousin, why does he want to get married?"
"Well, I know about this. It is said that they had a good relationship when they were young, but they didn't have any other thoughts. Later, his cousin got divorced and came back to find him, and they became good friends after a while."
Aunt Cai shared the information, "I think Fang Yuhua is not a good person either. When she was taking care of Shen Lingling during her confinement, didn't she hook up with Zhou Gencai? I heard that she stole more than 30 kilograms of flour from Zhou Gencai during that time! Zhou Gencai was almost beaten to death by his mother."
"Zhou Gencai is also a confused person. Although his family and Zhou Chuntao's family are already five generations apart, they are still blood relatives for several generations! The ancestors said that people with the same surname should not marry, but he finally married Zhou Chuntao. Over the years, Zhou Chuntao has not given him any children, but he has raised a very good son."
"Zhou Chuntao is amazing. She once fell in love with Shen Laoqi, and her daughter was about the same. She married into a good in-law family after careful selection, and she always digs things back from her in-laws to support her younger brother."
"..."
The autumn harvest has just passed, and this year is another bumper year. The old ladies are happy all day long. Whenever they chat, they always sigh that their lives are getting better and better now.
Some people were happy for Shen Moer when they heard that she was pregnant, but some people couldn't help but start to think again when they heard that Shen Moer was pregnant.
